It can trap steel types using Magnet Pull like Skarmory, Ferrothorn, Scizor (Can't safely switch in if it runs EQ) and Forretress (unless it has Volt Switch) and threaten it back using Hidden Power Fire or Thunderbolt.

Its Steel typing also gives it a plethora of resistances and only weak to Ground, Fire and Fighting.

Probably around A-

I would probably gonna rank it. Scizor can't learn EQ though, making Magnezone a perfect counter as of now (Superpower is a tutor move). Trapping Steel types are definitely very useful because with Steel-type eliminated, the team's defensive functions will be noticeably weaker.

The issue, however, is that outside of trapping these Pokemon, Thundurus and Mega Manectric fares better due to stallbreaking, deterring sweepers, speed and offensive capabilities for Thundurus's case and for Mega Manectric, better speed and coverage. Being forced to learn Hidden Power Fire means it loses an important coverage for Ground types. Nevertheless, it contributes to defensive synergy well compared to others while being able to pivot out of unfavorable matchups with Volt Switch.

I think it is not as good as those Electric types above due to its somewhat situational-ness. I would say it fits B+.
